The observation of skyrmion phase in the helical magnet MnSi has
led to a rapid growth in the study of non-collinear magnetic phases
and associated magneto-electric phenomena [1]}.
First postulated as a topologically protected solution to a class of
non-linear sigma model in high energy physics[2]},
skyrmions arise in magnetic systems as spontaneously formed spin textures
with non-trivial topology [3]}, [4]}, [5]}.
These spin textures are topologically protected against any deformations [5]}, [7]}
which make them attractive for practical applications [8]}, [9]}.
In magnetic switching devices, efficient coupling of electric currents
to these spin textures lead to large spin-transfer torques
that arise at very low current densities [10]}, [11]}.
These spin textures drive unusual phenomena such as
magneto-electric effect for non-collinear magnetic orderings [12]}, [13]}
and topological Hall effect for non-coplanar arrangement
of the spins [14]}, [15]}.
These spin textures are promising in magnetic memory devices,
where memory bits can be packed denser and are more robust
due to their topological nature [16]}, [17]}, [18]}.
Understanding the microscopic origin of these complex structures and
their associated electronic properties is key for harnessing their unique
functionalities for practical applications [9]}.
